children's custody

this i wanted to ask advice in behalf of my son's present situation with regards to his children's custody and the extent of his support to his children..His marriage to his wife is still intact but their situation now is that they are presently separated emotionally and physically.Decided to partways due to indifference.Now their children suffers and is now living in my daughter in law's parents and in their custody. My son works as OFW in singapore ang his wife is now presently working as Dometic helper in Abu Dhabi as part of her revenge to my son.My son is in full support of his childrens education and other needs.Could we know the extent of my son's right to get his children into his custody since the wife left her children for a job outside the country? Thanks..

the grandparents are now exercising substitute parental authority in the absence of both parents. if your son decides to return here and stay with the children he can ask for the children to be given to him or take legal action to gain custody.

note though that custody is not permanent. the wife can also return and contest his request for custody. but custody is a personal right which cannot be exercised through others.

how old are the children?

if they refuse to give custody or visitation rights to your son, he can file a complaint in the bgy and later in court to enforce his rights.
